On my second set of RE-11s. Great tire. I prefer over 05A
Very good handling and wear.

Don't always believe what you read on the internet.
I have a set of Bridgestone tires (235 F and 305 R) sitting ready to be mounted and weighed them...A single front is 24 lbs while a rear is 31 lbs. I don't consider a few lbs between brands to be that "substantial" at all.

There is a substantial weight difference between some of the tires. Take a look at this. found this on another site:
The number in bold are the weights of one front plus one rear tire:
Michelin Cup: front/rear 20/27 = 47 lbs
Pirelli Corsa: 21/26 = 47
Continental Extreme Contact DW: 21/28 = 49
Michelin PS2: 22/28 = 50
Continental SportContact 3: 22/28 = 50
Pirelli Rosso: 22/29 = 51
Bridgestone RE050A: 24/31 = 55
Toyo R888: 25/31 = 56
Bridgestone RE11: 27/31 = 59

I run 33/39 and have had good results with higher front tire pressures- up to 36, more neutral, less understeer.
Re weight arguments- in all due respect guys I who can really tell the difference on the street r otherwise ?
